Dispatch rural photographed in 2011A single work boot sits on a dusty timber floor, left behind when the Northcote Shoe Factory closed sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. The factory, purpose built on Arthurton Road in 1926, produced footwear under the Purnell Shoe Company name by the 1970s, one of a wave of inner Melbourne manufacturers that didn't survive tariff reductions and cheap imports. Part of the Northcote Shoe Factory series.
